Guest Reviews
Cloud Canyon is the intersection of perfection of the high desert landscape and the architecture, design, and comforts of this home. We started mornings with sunrise coffee, hikes along the dirt road, and fireside chats while watching the stars sparkle. Trust the intentionality of the hosts.
Tina
The perfect place for a multi-generational family trip. The house is absolutely beautiful — the pool and hot tub are perfect and the fire pit is a nice addition to enjoy fantastic views of the night sky. We loved our time here, didn't want to leave and want to come back.
Mike
Had a magical experience. The views from the deck are magnificent. The kitchen had everything I could hope for. What an amazing location — I can't stress it enough. I can't wait to come back. Thank you thank you!
Vanessa
Home was absolutely gorgeous with breathtaking views. Super clean and the hosts were very kind and accommodating. Communication was clear and immediate. Would not think twice to come back!
Cherie
If you are looking for a secluded place big enough for your family and friends to gather, this is it. Cozy and inviting. Perfect pool deck for sunrise views. Shannon was easy to contact and very fast to communicate.
Judee
This house was amazing! So beautiful on the inside and out. My friends and I had the best weekend and Shannon and Jacob were great hosts.
